Dispersion of Synthetic Fiber for Wet-Lay Nonwovens, 1994 Nonwovens Conference Proceedings
James M. Keith
Successful development and production of wet-lay nonwovens is linked closely to the knowledge, understanding and proper use of synthetic fibers. Some factors related to the characteristic dispersion properties of synthetic fibers are presented. These include effects of the generic fiber type, fiber size, aspect ration, fiber end-cut condition, surface characteristics, and fiber yarn. Some methods of dispersion evaluation are also noted.
